So, What Is BYJU’S Study Material, Really?

Alright, let’s talk about this straight up: BYJU’S study material is basically a mix of video lessons, notes, quizzes, and tests designed to help students understand school subjects in a more visual, interactive way. It’s mostly used for school boards, JEE, NEET, and other exams, and it’s all about explaining concepts with animations and examples. The problem is, just watching BYJU’S study material doesn’t guarantee you’ll remember it during exams. That’s where turning those concepts into flashcards and using spaced repetition apps like Flashrecall comes in, so what you learn actually sticks in your brain instead of vanishing the next day.

BYJU’S Study Material Is Great – But Here’s The Catch

BYJU’S does a solid job at:

  • Explaining concepts visually
  • Breaking topics into chapters
  • Giving you quizzes and chapter tests

But here’s the thing nobody really tells you:

Active recall and spaced repetition = remembering.**

Most students stop at understanding and then wonder why they forget everything a week later.

So if you’re using BYJU’S study material but not doing anything to repeatedly pull that info out of your brain, you’re only doing half the job.

That’s why pairing BYJU’S with a flashcard app like Flashrecall is honestly a cheat code. You use BYJU’S to learn the concept, then Flashrecall to lock it in.

How To Use BYJU’S Study Material The Smart Way (Not The Default Way)

Instead of just:

1. Watching a BYJU’S video

2. Skimming the notes

3. Doing 1 quiz

4. Moving to the next chapter

Try this workflow:

1. Watch the video once – focus on truly understanding

2. Pause and note key formulas, definitions, concepts

3. Turn those into flashcards (manually or automatically using Flashrecall)

4. Review those flashcards using spaced repetition over days/weeks

That last step is the difference between “I studied this…” and “I can actually write this in the exam.”

Why Flashcards + BYJU’S Study Material Work So Well Together

Flashcards force active recall – your brain has to pull the answer out instead of just recognizing it.

When you convert BYJU’S content into flashcards, you’re basically telling your brain:

> “Hey, this is important. Don’t throw it in the trash after 24 hours.”

Here’s what makes this combo powerful:

  • BYJU’S = clear explanations
  • Flashcards = strong memory
  • Spaced repetition = long-term retention

And if you’re thinking, “Ugh, making flashcards sounds like work,” that’s where Flashrecall makes life easier.

Here’s how it helps with BYJU’S:

1. Turn BYJU’S Notes Into Flashcards In Seconds

Instead of typing everything by hand, Flashrecall lets you:

  • Make flashcards from text – copy key points or formulas from BYJU’S notes and paste them in
  • Use images – screenshot an important diagram or table from BYJU’S and turn it into a card
  • Use PDFs – if you have BYJU’S PDFs or other notes, you can create cards from them
  • Use YouTube links – if you’re mixing BYJU’S with YouTube lectures, Flashrecall can pull cards from those too
  • Or just type cards manually if you like full control

So you’re not wasting hours formatting stuff – you’re actually studying.

2. Built-In Spaced Repetition (No Manual Planning)

Flashrecall automatically keeps track and reminds you of the cards you don't remember well so you remember faster. Like this :

Flashrecall has automatic spaced repetition with reminders, so you don’t have to remember when to review each card.

It will:

  • Show new cards more often at the start
  • Gradually increase the gap as you remember them
  • Bring back tricky cards more frequently

This works beautifully with BYJU’S because you can:

  • Watch a chapter today
  • Make cards from it
  • Let Flashrecall handle all the review timing for the next days/weeks

You just open the app and it tells you what to review. No planning, no guilt.

3. Active Recall Built In

Every flashcard session in Flashrecall is basically active recall training:

  • Question on the front
  • You think of the answer
  • Then flip to check

This is exactly what your brain does in an exam, just without the panic.

So those BYJU’S formulas, reactions, diagrams, and definitions? They stop being “I’ve seen this before” and become “I know this.”

4. You Can Chat With Your Flashcards

This part is actually pretty cool:

If you’re unsure about a concept, you can chat with the flashcard in Flashrecall to get explanations, breakdowns, or examples.

So say you made a card from a BYJU’S physics concept and you kind of forgot why it works that way – you can ask inside the app and get it explained again, without digging through long videos.

It’s like having a mini tutor attached to your notes.

5. Works Offline (Great For Commutes & Bad Wi-Fi)

Downloaded your cards? You’re good.

Flashrecall works offline, so you can:

  • Review cards on the bus
  • Study during power cuts
  • Use downtime between classes

BYJU’S is great for learning when you’re online; Flashrecall lets you keep revising even when you’re not.

Step-By-Step: Using BYJU’S Study Material With Flashrecall

Here’s a simple routine you can copy:

Step 1: Learn The Concept On BYJU’S

  • Pick a chapter (say, “Chemical Bonding”)
  • Watch the videos
  • Read the notes
  • Do the practice questions once

Step 2: Capture The Important Bits

While studying, note down:

  • Definitions (e.g., ionic bond, covalent bond)
  • Formulas
  • Exceptions
  • Diagrams (like molecular shapes)
  • Tricky examples

Step 3: Turn Them Into Flashcards In Flashrecall

In Flashrecall:

  • Create a deck like “Class 11 – Chemical Bonding”
  • Add cards such as:
  • Front: “Define ionic bond”

Back: “Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions formed by transfer of electrons.”

  • Front: “Shape of NH₃ molecule?”

Back: “Trigonal pyramidal.”

  • Front: [Image of a diagram from BYJU’S]

Back: “Label the parts / Explain what this shows.”

You can use screenshots, text, or even PDFs if you have them.

Step 4: Let Spaced Repetition Do Its Thing

  • Open Flashrecall daily
  • Review the cards it suggests
  • Mark how easy or hard each card was

Hard cards will show up more; easy ones get spaced out.

By exam time, the important stuff will feel automatic.

BYJU’S vs Just Flashcards vs BYJU’S + Flashrecall

Let’s compare:

Only BYJU’S Study Material

  • ✅ Great explanations
  • ✅ Visual learning
  • ❌ Easy to forget after a week
  • ❌ Hard to quickly revise everything before exams

Only Flashcards (No BYJU’S)

  • ✅ Good for memorizing facts
  • ❌ Not great if you never truly understood the concept in the first place

BYJU’S + Flashrecall (Best Combo)

  • ✅ Strong understanding from BYJU’S
  • ✅ Strong memory from active recall + spaced repetition
  • ✅ Faster revision before tests
  • ✅ Less stress because you’ve seen the material multiple times over weeks

You don’t have to choose one.

Use BYJU’S to learn, and Flashrecall to remember.

Example: Turning A BYJU’S Chapter Into Flashrecall Decks

Let’s say you’re doing Class 10 Physics – Light: Reflection and Refraction on BYJU’S.

You could create:

Deck 1: Definitions

  • “Define refraction of light.”
  • “What is the refractive index?”
  • “Define focal length.”

Deck 2: Formulas

  • “Lens formula” → 1/f = 1/v – 1/u
  • “Magnification formula for mirrors”
  • “Snell’s law.”

Deck 3: Diagrams & Cases

  • Image of ray diagrams → “Is this concave or convex mirror? What is the image nature?”
  • Different object positions → “Object beyond 2F for convex lens – describe image.”

Deck 4: Concept Checks

  • “Why does a pencil appear bent in water?”
  • “Why do stars appear to twinkle?”

All of this comes from BYJU’S study material, but now it’s in a format your brain loves: short, focused, and repeated over time.

Final Thoughts: Don’t Just Use BYJU’S – Make It Stick

BYJU’S study material is honestly pretty solid for understanding concepts, but understanding without review = forgetting.

If you want your effort to actually pay off:

1. Learn the topic with BYJU’S

2. Turn the key points into flashcards

3. Use Flashrecall to review them with spaced repetition

That’s how you go from “I watched the video” to “I can crush this exam question.”
